Devouring the Starry Sky: Cultivation Makes Me Stronger

"Looks like I'll still have to make a trip to Mist Island."

He had long been eyeing the Spirits of Plants and Trees on Mist Island. With those things, reaching the War God Peak would be much easier.

No more recommendations, so I'm about to go bare.

Just one chapter today. I'll make it up over the weekend. Starting next week, I'll pick up the pace—three chapters a day.

The 1st.

At the main entrance of the Elite Training Camp.

Today was the day for the life-and-death expedition. All the trainees and War God instructors in the Training Camp had been quietly waiting here for quite some time, awaiting the arrival of Hong, the Head Curator of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and the world's strongest man!

Suddenly.

A blood-red streak of light appeared in the distant sky.

Looking closely.

It was a Blood-red Triangular Fighter Jet!

The fighter jet moved quickly. Its thunderous sonic boom soon rang out overhead, and everyone fixed their burning gazes on the jet as it slowly descended from high above.

The whole world knew that this fighter jet belonged exclusively to Hong!

Hong had arrived!

A moment later, the fighter jet landed.

"Whoosh!" The hatch opened, and two inspectors beyond the War God level stepped out of it through the air before striding directly onto the lawn.

That entrance was certainly as flashy as it got!

Everyone's eyes were focused on the hatch, anxiously waiting for the next figure to appear.

With two inspectors paving the way, everyone's anticipation had been drawn to the peak, because under normal circumstances, the next person to appear would be Hong, the world's strongest man!

"The world's strongest man!"

Among the crowd below, Luo Feng stared unblinkingly at the hatch. His heart was also surging with excitement. This was his first time seeing the legendary world's strongest man, Hong!

The next second, a figure emerged from the hatch!

Everyone widened their eyes, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

However.

When they saw the figure's face clearly, their jaws dropped.

"A... A Shen!?"

Luo Feng's mouth hung open, his entire expression like he had seen a ghost. His voice trembled slightly. "What's going on? How did A Shen get on Hong's fighter jet? And where did Hong go?"

The surrounding trainees all wore expressions of utter bewilderment.

They stared dumbfoundedly as Luo Shen walked out of the hatch step by step, got off the fighter jet, and jogged into the crowd toward where Luo Feng stood.

Luo Shen smiled and greeted him, "Long time no see, Senior Brother!"

He had not returned to the Training Camp for several months.

He remembered that the last time they had met was on April 27, when the two of them had gone out to hunt monsters together.

Unexpectedly, Luo Feng still looked the same: a cropped haircut, standard martial artist gear for heading out, a shield in his left hand and a combat saber in his right, with several throwing knives strapped to the outside of his thigh.

Clearly, Luo Feng had yet to process what was happening.

Only when Luo Shen waved his right hand in front of him did he finally come fully to his senses. He slapped away Luo Shen's mischievous hand and asked, "A Shen, where have you been all this time? And how did you come down from Hong's fighter jet?"

He had far too many questions.

From the end of April until today, a full three months had passed, and he had no idea where Luo Shen had gone. He only knew that Luo Shen had been taken away by an inspector and brought to the headquarters of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy.

After that, there had been no news at all.

Who would have thought that he would suddenly reappear today, and actually step down from Hong's personal fighter jet?

And with two inspectors clearing the way for him, no less.

What kind of prestige was that!?

The people around them also looked at Luo Shen in astonishment. Clearly, they too were curious about where the most outstanding genius in the history of the Elite Training Camp had gone during the three months of his sudden disappearance.

Of course.

Quite a few people were also hurriedly sending messages to notify the forces behind them—Luo Shen had returned!

Many forces had been keeping a close watch on Luo Shen's whereabouts.

Candice and the Polainas Family were among them.

In the entire Training Camp, no one bore a deeper grudge against Luo Shen than Candice. First, Luo Shen had won fifty billion from him. Second, Luo Shen had killed his cousin, Li Wei. His aunt and uncle had been closely monitoring Luo Shen's movements all along.

After Luo Shen had vanished without explanation.

Li Yao and Vinina, upon learning the news, had nearly set off for Hongning Base City, but Candice had persuaded them not to.

Now that Luo Shen had appeared again.

Naturally, he had to send the news to Li Yao and Vinina immediately.

Luo Shen's appearance stirred up the trainees in the Training Camp so much that no one noticed a short-haired man in black trousers and a black jacket stepping down from the hatch one step at a time!

Hong shot Luo Shen, who stood among the crowd, an irritated look.

He had carefully planned this entrance, intending to intimidate the trainees and let them know there was always someone stronger out there. Yet before his performance could even begin, Luo Shen's antics had already ruined it.

Every word of his prepared speech died in his throat.

Fortunately, Hong still had some means of salvaging the situation.

He unleashed his domain!

"Rumble~~" Every trainee felt their heads ring. The world around them twisted completely in an instant, and the brilliant sunlight vanished from their sight. Everything before their eyes lost its brightness, leaving only blackness.

And at the center of that black world, the most dazzling figure was Hong!

"Show-off!"

Luo Shen rolled his eyes.

He said "show-off" very quietly. Only Luo Feng beside him heard it. Everyone else's attention had been drawn to Hong, so no one noticed Luo Shen's remark.

Just as Luo Feng wondered who that comment had been directed at.

He suddenly discovered that the endless night around them had vanished.

Then, in the next second.

Hong took one step forward and appeared before him as if by Teleportation.

He did not know if it was an illusion, but when Hong first appeared, he seemed to have fiercely glared at Luo Shen beside him. Only then did he turn around and stare at him with blazing eyes.

Of course, it was not an illusion.

Luo Shen shrugged fearlessly.

Hong really had glared fiercely at him just now, and Luo Shen knew why. What a petty man. It was only because Luo Shen had stolen the spotlight from his entrance and left this grand appearance with a blemish.

Fortunately, it did not affect the progression of events.

Luo Shen watched quietly until Hong said to Luo Feng, "Such powerful Mind Controller power." A strange smile appeared on his face.

Luo Feng's identity as a Mind Controller had been exposed!

He had played a part in it.

He could have told Hong ahead of time that Luo Feng was a Mind Controller and ended all this before it began.

But in the end, he had still chosen to let things unfold as they normally would.

Although exposing that identity would draw Li Yao and Vinina's attention, making them believe that the person who killed Li Wei was not Luo Shen alone, but Luo Feng as well!

It would make Li Yao even more desperate to strike at them!

But at the same time.

It would also make Luo Feng better understand the need to remain vigilant even in peaceful times, which would greatly benefit the growth of his state of mind.

"Pull up the weeds by the roots!" Luo Shen muttered. "If I don't draw all of you out, how can I deal with you all at once?"

He had not forgotten.
